BELLOWS FALLS — RE: “Bellows Falls winter shelter without a home,” Dec. 7.
What's most telling is that the three members of the zoning board agreed that the claimed impact on traffic should be a real concern.
That's claimed impact:
• on the main road through downtown.
• that is already below normal traffic levels because the bridge from downtown to New Hampshire is closed, and will be for a few years.
• on additional traffic consisting of perhaps one or two vehicles dropping off or picking up shelter users in a day.
This is so transparently a false concern that “heartless” is too tame a word for these people. They are people who embrace even the most transparent lie to excuse their inhumanity.
We should be ashamed, as a town and village, to have any such people in positions of responsibility.
